WHOOP UCI MOUNTAIN BIKE WORLD SERIES 2025 CALENDAR UNVEILED
- The dates, venues, and rounds for next year’s WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series have been revealed, featuring a new venue and the return of fan-favorite locations.
- The 2025 season will unfold over seven months, featuring 16 race weekends, with 10 UCI Cross-country and Downhill World Cup events and 8 UCI Enduro World Cup rounds.
The 2025 calendar for the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series has been confirmed. The third year of the revamped UCI World Cup formats, launched in 2023 to unite all mountain bike’s major formats under a single brand for the first time, will visit ten countries across 15 rounds (16 race weekends) between April and October and will feature the best athletes in the sport’s Endurance (Cross-country Olympic, XCO - and Cross-country Short Track, XCC) and Gravity (Downhill, DHI and Enduro, EDR) formats.
After starting with a back-to-back Brazilian cross-country double header in Araxá - Minas Gerais, the Gravity action gets underway with a UCI Enduro World Cup at the format’s spiritual home in Pietra Ligure – Finale Outdoor Region (Italy) before Downhill joins the party a week later in Enduro Trails - Bielsko-Biała (Poland).
The Pietra Ligure and Bielsko-Biała UCI World Cup rounds are the start of five back-to-back weekends of racing that sees the return of Loudenvielle-Peyragudes (France) in the Gravity formats, as well as Nové Město Na Moravě (Czechia) in Endurance before the first XCO/XCC/DHI/EDR triple-header at a long-term partner venue Saalfelden Leogang - Salzburgerland (Austria).
The second half of the series sees a completely new UCI World Cup venue for 2025 – the gravity-fuelled trails of La Thuile – Valle d’Aosta, in Italy, welcoming the UCI Downhill and Enduro World Cups; while, a year after having hosted XCO and XCC in the USA’s Mt Van Hoevenberg for its 2024 UCI World Cup debut, the Lake Placid Olympic Region (New York) will add a UCI Downhill World Cup in 2025.
It will also see a return of the 2024 UCI Mountain Bike World Championship venue Pal Arinsal (Andorra) and UCI Mountain Bike Enduro and E-enduro World Championship location Val di Fassa - Trentino (Italy), the iconic bike park venue Val di Sole - Trentino (Italy), back-to-back weekends in Haute-Savoie, France (exact venues to be announced at a later date) and Lenzerheide’s Bike Kingdom (Switzerland), with the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships of Valais 2025 in between, and a fitting season finale in Mont-Sainte-Anne; the renowned Canadian venue.
Chris Ball, Vice President of Cycling Events at Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe, said: “Although I’m on tenterhooks to see the conclusion of this year’s WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series, the 2025 edition is shaping up to be the best season yet. We are expanding once more and welcome La Thuile into the UCI World Cup family, while Lake Placid adds Downhill to its schedule and brings the number of UCI Downhill World Cup rounds up to 10. The calendar also sees the return of locations that made successful debuts in 2024, as well as icons of the sport such as Val di Fassa, Nové Město Na Moravě and Mont-Sainte-Anne. A perfect combination of innovation and tradition.
“Regardless of their pedigree, each round will take place at a venue that is at the pinnacle of mountain bike course design, guaranteeing exciting, adrenaline-fuelled racing from start to finish. The locations are also set in the heart of passionate mountain biking communities, and fans from near and far will line the courses and bring the noise come race day.”
UCI President David Lappartient said: “The WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series has already increased the visibility of the mountain bike discipline, with more rounds and more host venues than before. In 2025, we will continue the momentum with yet another new venue joining the Series. Starting in Brazil in April and finishing in Canada after months of exciting racing, the athletes and fans have a great deal to look forward to next season. It is going to be another intense year of mountain bike racing!”
